The P-40? Really? I'd bet that gets missed 99 times out of 100.

There are a lot of us who spent many teenage hours building models of WWII planes.

Not a problem for an old warbird buff like me, but I still think it's too obscure for Jeopardy, even in the $2000 row. Especially with the age generation of most J! players. P-51 is the only WWII fighter (alpha-neumeric) that is 'universally' known by appearance anymore.

Poll request; I don't think it would go over 20%.

I don't think it'll break 10%...but will be more than 1%. P-51's the only one I could name, too.
